From Skyview’s growler. Bitter, grassy hops. Orange color. Thin white head and light red color. A session beer with very low bitterness, not bad at all for what it is.

Sampled on draft at the Cranberry PA location this beer poured a bright red-amber color with a small khaki head. The aroma was lightly sweet and fruity but rather faint. The flavor was sour and nutty with a harsh floral and dry fruity hop presence. There was a light body.

On tap at the restaurant/brewpub in Escanaba. Awesome that they can measure the ABV to a hundredth of a percent...anyway, deep, murky orange-brown body with strong carbonation, medium buff head. Spicy, floral hops aroma, light at serving temperature. Full, piney, floral hops body with strong hoppy bite, backed by dry caramely and toasty malts. A bit citrusy. A fair offering. This was listed as the "Hop Rocket Pale Ale," not Amber Ale.

This beer is on tap at the H&H in Cranberry. I wonder why many beers have hops in their name but are not IPA? It pours pretty dark orangish brown. Has a big white head and medium hop aromas. Head fades rapidly. Not as hoppy as I expected on the first taste. IBU is listed as 48 but I think is may be a little less bitter than that. It is much less bitter than the ESB I just had. Now I begin to feel the bitter hops building on the back of my throat. Has a medium amount of maltiness, but the flavors are now dominated by the hops. It is not an overwhelming hop brew, mind you. Finish is mildly hoppy but not on the same level as other american ambers I’ve had the pleasure of tasting.
